AdBlue

[ErnestTurnip]

I know there's one in Darwen but does anyone know of any petrol stations in Bolton that do AdBlue at a pump and how much they are charging?

Can't say I've seen any. Usually they just sell the plastic containers. 

[DazBob]

Aye, no need for a pump.  Just buy it in a plastic container from pretty much any petrol station.

[ErnestTurnip]

I normally do just buy a container but was wondering if it was available and cheaper at a pump. 

I do get that trying to save a tenner every few months might make me seem a tight cunt though.

Lorries get it out of a pump but not sure they are suitable for cars. I would pay a little more at the pump to reduce the hassle and save on plastic waste.

One on Chorley New Road in Horwich, think its Texaco ? Sorry, can't remember what it cost, over a quid a litre though.

A lot of the newer Shell garages do it.

Who decided pig piss was going to improve diesel emissions? I get that the urea is now synthetic but question still applies.

For the sake of completeness, 149.9 a litre at Texaco in Horwich.

For comparison, between £1.85 and £2.10/ltr in a 10 ltr drum.

Do you need to put ad blue in on a regular basis? I thought it'd get topped up on each service.

Not included on a service. It’s a fuel supplement so up to you to put in and pay for. And for gods sake don’t let it get to zero miles.

Even if a place put it in as part of a service, I'd be wary of the price charged. Remember when one place used to put some washer fluid into the tank, and charge the bloody earth. Used to tell them not to bother after that.

Our local service station is doing AdBlue - I haven’t the foggiest what it is or if I need it.

[Casino]

if you need it, therell be a cap next to your diesel tank

likely the car would be post 2016/16

If you need to pop out for a pregnancy test.

Not all cars have it near the fuel fill, mine is in the boot for some brilliant reason.

All sounds like a bit of a scam to me.
